"The PFA does not represent players when they have broken the law and been convicted on non-football matters."- Gordon Taylor in 2009 following Marlon King's release after a prison sentence for sexual assault & ABH

Ganga earlier hit it on the head when he mentioned on these pitches the first six overs offer the best chance. And we had TilDil blocking 19odd in that for 3 today. I think that'll prove to be the difference in the end.

NZ need these 2 to put on a partnership and stop the rot. Ryder went nicely, but SL are bowling well. They can't leave themselves too much to do at the death, as scoring quickly off Malinga is not an easy task by any means. Could do with Taylor hitting his straps and smashing some big boundaries.
